We Bought Back Our Cruise Time—Was It Worth It?
Carnival Cruise Line’s Faster to the Fun (FTTF) promises priority perks designed to help you spend less time waiting and more time enjoying your cruise. But with the price of Faster to the Fun changing depending on the ship and sailing, is it actually worth the extra money? We bought Faster to the Fun and put the perks to the test based on our own experience. ⏱️ THE FASTER TO THE FUN TIME BANK For us, the real value of Faster to the Fun comes down to one question: Did it actually save us time or hassle? Every time we felt an FTTF benefit legitimately gave us something back, we deposited a coin into our FTTF Time Bank. We’re not pretending we timed every benefit down to the minute — this is our way of showing which perks actually made a difference to our vacation. In this video, we break down: Priority Check-In & Boarding Early Stateroom Access Priority Luggage Guest Services Priority Dining Priority Priority Water Shuttle (Tender) Priority Debarkation We’ll also look at the history of Faster to the Fun, why Carnival introduced the program, how it has changed over the years, what it costs today, and who we think gets the most value from buying it. Some of these benefits sounded great on paper. Some actually made our cruise easier. And a few didn't make much difference to us at all. So after putting all seven perks into our Time Bank, we answer the big question: WOULD WE BUY FASTER TO THE FUN AGAIN? More importantly, should YOU? Your answer could be completely different depending on how you cruise, your Carnival loyalty status, your itinerary, how much you hate waiting in lines, and which of these benefits you'll actually use. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Have you purchased Faster to the Fun? What's the ONE FASTER TO THE FUN perk that makes it worth the money for you?
